"You think this is just another day in your life. It's not just another day—it's the one day that is given to you. It's a gift. It's the only gift that you have right now; and the only appropriate response in gratefulness...Let the gratefulness overflow into blessing all around you. And then it will really be a good day."
~Brother David Steindl-Rast
Today I am grateful to my friend Diana for sending me this Youtube video, and I'd like to share the gift with you. Allow some time...this video is 9 minutes 56 seconds long. It's time well spent, to see beautiful images of nature in all its glory, including exquisite time-lapse photography of flowers blooming, strawberries ripening on the vine, and images of a snow-covered Yosemite Valley and the Grand Canyon bathed in sunlight. Louie Schwartzberg is the cinematographer, and the music is provided by Gary Malkin, whose gift is healing and uplifting the soul through musical vibration.
Today I am in great gratitude for the preciousness of each day that is given to us, and the reminder of how wonderful it is to share the blessings of life with others. It is so easy to be a blessing—with a warm smile, a loving touch, looking into someone's eyes and listening deeply to what they have to say, sharing a kind word...it doesn't take much to touch someone's heart and make their day.
Wishing you many blessings this day. Namaste.
